SAINT-PIERRE-ET-SAINT-PAUL CATHEDRAL (ПЕТРА СОБОР ПЕТРА КАФЕДРАЛЬНИЙ СОБОР ТА)

The Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul Catholic Cathedral perfectly illustrates the Polish and Turkish past of the city. The construction of the cathedral dates back to the end of the th century, when the city was under Polish authority. However, it was converted into mosques following the capture of Kamyanets by the Turks in 1672 and remained within the 27 years of their domination. The Turks also built a 42 m minaret on the sides of the entrance to the cathedral, which now remains intact. After the resumption of the city by the Poles the interior is retransformé, but the minaret was not affected, in accordance with the treaty signed by both parties in 1699. However, it was omitted from a statue of the Virgin Mary at the request of the Polish bishop of the city. If Kamyanets is a less spectacular example than Sainte Sophia in Istanbul or that the Cathedral Cathedral of Cordoba, the Cathedral Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, with its appearance of Tuscan monastery and its Tatar minaret, recalls that the region is a friction zone between East and west. The entrance of the cathedral is dominated by a statue representing King Stanislav of Poland. At the entrance you can see a statue of God overwhelmed. She recalls the desecration of the graves of the Catholic cemetery by the Turks, in search of gold and jewelry, when taking the city.
